The Blues earned their point the hard way, with Macauley Bonne stepping off the bench to score a stoppage time equaliser to rescue a point, after Cole Stockton had twice given the visitors the lead.

Scott Fraser netted Town's first equaliser, also scoring on his debut on a day when more than 21,000 supporters packed into Portman Road for the first game since the lifting of coronavirus restrictions.

Steve Waller captured the best of the action.
